On the subject of NTA's that should be there -  

Should there be text describing auto-adding of NTA's based on important domains 
(for the ISP/resolver's definition of important)?  So that domains that are 
used by low level services don't fail that also aren't normally visible to end 
users?  One example is nist.gov.  When nist.gov messed up and went DNSSEC 
BOGUS, time.nist.gov was unreachable by validating resolvers.  Unless the log 
files were detailed, a user may not know what is going on or that NTP is having 
issues.  

This could be a monitor, or a pre-loaded NTA for certain domains.  Not crazy 
about the pre-loaded idea, but it would avoid a period of scrambling.
